Willow: What Google’s error-correcting chip means for quantum computing

Hindustan Times

Google has just announced a new quantum chip, Willow, and the breakthrough needs to be read right in order to understand its implications. The idea is to incorporate error correction codes in “logical qubits”, each created across a number of “physical qubits”. Logical qubits make quantum computing even more complex since they are built across a number of physical qubits. …
